Might be, but that wasn't all the rockets' themselves fault. They lacked the necessary intelligence support for targeting because of the excellent British counterintelligence network.

IIRC from what I've read, without any kind of direct reconnaissance possible, the Germans relied on their agents in Britain to act as forward observers for their rockets aimed at London. Unfortunately for them, the British had already turned all the German agents in Britain, and the agents fed misinformation back to the Germans to push their aim further off the mark.

Pretty much every late game tech can be considered super weapons of a sort as late game techs are the best in its category:
  • All 1944 tech ships
  • Late tech artillery (don't know then their tech tree end)
  • Night fighting equipment (1943 and 1946 tech)
  • Jet aircraft
  • Main battle tank
  • Rockets
  • Nukes
  • Late tech support battalions
  • Mechanized (1946?)

Yep, this is pretty much it.

About V1/V2 precision from Wiki:

Initially, V-1's landed within a circle 19 miles in diameter, but by the end of the war, accuracy had been improved to about 7 miles, which was comparable to the V-2 rocket.

Which is not good enough for reliable hit on factories.

Yep. They were terror weapons designed to demoralize the enemy - not to target the war economy's machines. Since HoI4 won't have terror bombing or dehousing, it'll probably be abstracted as factory damage like strategic bombing which is good enough for me.
